He's the Ken Rockwell of philosophers.

The GNU Project and Free Software Foundation (FSF) are based on a philosophy commonly referred to as the GNU Philosophy (can be read at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/shouldbefree.html) postulated and written in detail by Richard Stallman. The whole concept of free (open-source) software hovers around this very philosophical concept. While contemplating his glorious past, Stallman seemed to forget one very significant point about his philosophy: That he more closely symbolized Marxist ideas and thoughts therein. He tried edifying Marxist principles in software industry in the very realms of imperfect society without much understanding of Marx's real thoughts about improving society. This paper is a carefully laid down critique of GNU Philosophy in a manner as candor as possible pointing the many pitfalls of the superannuated GNU philosophy.
